That is much like my 56 hood. Not banded or if it was it has broken loose. The 56 hood has some flutter to it at speed and is also rather flimsy feeling upon opening and closeing.

When closeing the hood or the trunk do NOT slam it. There s no need to slam it like modern cars. Keep the hinges greased well. One reason i removed the hood ornament is because it takes nearly no effort at all to close the hood. THe hood dropped on my head one time during a rather breezy day.
